"The restaurant is ideally located on the esplanade. They offer excellent beer, particularly the Proper Job. We made a reservation for dinner at 7:00 PM and were seated at a nice table upstairs. We started with a Whitebait appetizer to share, which was delicious. However, we both ordered the Roast Beef main course (£19.00 each), and that turned out to be a significant mistake. It was clear that everything had been pre-cooked and simply reheated. We even had to send the potatoes back because they were undercooked, but they were replaced within minutes with crispy, hot ones. How could this happen? It seems like the chef might leave in the afternoon, leaving the staff to just reheat dishes. Unfortunately, we won't be returning for a meal, but we might stop by for a beer. It's a shame because there are plenty of other restaurants nearby that offer better quality for the price. The choice is in their hands."

The only decent pub in Exmouth! Tidy garden, a balcony with a view, bike racks and cute inside!

This pub is fantastic! The menu is great—definitely try the whitebait; it's excellent. The wine list and service are also top-notch. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and they allow dogs, providing blankets if it gets chilly. There’s a lovely garden outside, perfect for those hot summer days. View menu

This is a lovely pub right by the seafront, with a nice outdoor seating area. The food was served hot and was quite tasty, although my lamb was a bit dry; a little sauce would have been a welcome addition. The desserts were fantastic. The staff were friendly and helpful. I would definitely come back if I'm in the area again.

"We were having a short break in Exmouth and were so impressed with the food on the first night that we booked for the next night as well. The restaurant from the outside looks small and cosy, but don’t be put off if the tables...look full as there as other room, equally as cosy, deeper in the premises The menu is interesting with a good selection of dishes and I found it difficult to choose a dish, simply because there were several that took my fancy. My wife had Chicken Souvlaki which, unlike a lot of chicken dishes was not dry and very tasty. My Lamb Kleftico was well cooked so that it fell off of the bone and was delicately spiced with a rich sauce. It was juicy and tender melted in the mouth. The second night my partner had carrot and cheese souflee served with a rich tomato sauce, Mediterranean vegetables boulangere potatoes. This I am told was lovely with a great flavour. The vegetables were cooked perfectly, so often these are overdone but these had just the right amount of crunch left in them. Myself I had Moroccan Lamb Tagine. Having eaten this in Marrakesh I was a little dubious but I need not have worried. It was not as rustic as that served in Morocco, much more refined, but just as tasty and cooked to perfection. For dessert we shared a Summer Berry Bread Butter Pudding with mixed berries. It had a good contrast on sweet and slightly sharp berries that complimented each other. The service was good, efficient, and friendly. Where there was a question , the owner was always happy to answer and obviously took a great pride, and rightly so of her restaurant. If you get a chance this is a must try restaurant and I have no trouble recommending it."

"My wife and I went here recently to celebrate her birthday. The waitress was fab and friendly and had a great sence of humour. Unfortunately that was where the fun ended. My wife ordered dover sole and I had the pork dish. Mine was extremely salty but I decided not to say anything, however my wife 's meal was inedible because everything was plastered in heaps of salt. We called the waitress over,who then asked the owner to come and speak to us. She was very curt and offered to recook the meal. We asked if whe would take bith away as we didn 't want to eat alone or leav mine to go cold whilst they recooked for my wife. She took both away but quickly returned to inform us that she had tasted both and thought that the fish was fine but maybe the pork was a bit too salty! I informed her that I was very sorry and that we did not agree and that bith my wife and I thought that the dover sole was extremely salty. At this point she started to raise her voice and attracted the attention of the rest of the diners. At this I decided that it was time for us to leave as the situation was irreconcilable and that we would oay for the wine but not the food and got up from the table and went into the bar area to pay. The owner followed me and as I went to hand her my credit card she raised her voice again and shouted I don 't need this or your money, just go! We would like to thank Kerry and her husband for ruining my wife 's borthday"
